Congratulations to the Port of Montreal on this special anniversary." Remi Samad, General Manager of CMA CGM Canada "The ties between the Port of Montreal and CN since the first half of the 20th century have always been tight. Every day, our container trains enter and leave the Port of Montreal, enabling both our organizations to provide reliable, efficient and secure transport to our markets in Canada and the United States." Jean-Jacques Ruest, Executive Vice-President and Chief Marketing Officer - Canadian National "CP has been operating in the Montreal area for more than 135 years and has had a strong relationship with the Port of Montreal over that time. We were there when the first containers arrived 50 years ago, and we remain here today at this essential transportation hub. It's an honor to celebrate this milestone with the Port of Montreal, especially given our history in this location with CP Ships and the history of our company in Montreal." Jonathan Wahba, Vice-President Sales and Marketing, Intermodal and Grain - Canadian Pacific "Our family company started its operations at the Bickerdike pier in 1931. Over the years, we have seen numerous improvements in the maritime business amongst which, the very first containers in Montreal. Despite the fact that we now operate in 9 major ports across North America, for us, it all started here at the Port of Montreal over 85 years ago, and we are always proud to mark the event!" Andrew Chodos, President and CEO - Empire Stevedoring "There is a very special relationship between the Port of Montreal, Hapag-Lloyd and its home base, the Port of Hamburg.
